Greece hands Klopp his first defeat as Germany manager
Several regulars missed out in the 1-0 loss as Jurgen Klopp assessed his options, but the defeat illustrated the task of reviving the flagging giants.
Germany head coach Jurgen Klopp suffered his first loss as the nation's manager, as his team fell 1-0 to Greece in an UEFA Nations League match in Augsburg, Germany. Dimitrios Kourbelis scored the lone goal for Greece in the 74th minute, marking the team's first ever victory against Germany. In his inaugural home game as head coach, Klopp's Germany displayed limited attacking prowess and lacked energy, factors that contributed to their defeat.
The Germans struggled to break through Greece's defense early on, but managed to find the back of the net through counterattacks. However, Kourbelis' goal ultimately proved decisive as Greece held on to secure their first win over Germany in seven attempts dating back to 1960.
